I had seen some articles that said it was a Geocache, but MANY more that just said it was a Spiritual Goodwill Message.

Yeah, I saw that, but guess I was dumbfounded that what was, apparently, just a piece of paper would cause such a stir. If that is the case, then it doesn't bode well for Munzees and BITcaches.

I double checked and the only caches in or immediately around Disneyland (on mulitple sites) are all virtuals. However, there are several Munzees directly in the park.

If a piece of paper with a "spiritual goodwill message" on it can close down the park, why would something like a Munzee not have the potential to cause the same concern.

Even though there is no container, I believe many of the same considerations should be taken into consideration.

In short, I believe we still need to be considerate of where BITcaches are located. In relation to Munzees (also, generally stickers or laminated placards), I've tended to hear people in other forums or on podcasts seem to indicate that you can pretty much put them anywhere, since there is no container. In fact, some spots may be better suited for a virtual, where nothing physical needs to be placed. Just something to think about, before deciding on the right cache type for a given area.

Anyway, even as a Geocacher, I'd be suspicious of a PVC Pipe at the entrance to Disneyland knowing that a container cache would never be approved to be placed there. For the same reason the Washington DC area is mostly void of container caches (plenty of Virtuals)

Thanks. That's what I'd been trying to figure out and all I could find as "spiritual message of good will", not any description of what it was. My best guess, since not container or physical object was being described was that it as a note / paper. I take it you've gottent that from some other article about the event?

So, per TAZ427, it may have actually been a physical container (though, not a cache) that caused the alarm at Disneyland.
